I SEEM to have gotten the attention of those people sleeping on the job at the People. I heard Boss is irritated by them just taking it in the pants day in and day out from the surge of attacks that stick, which is coming out from Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly, every week. He says, "if you take it long enough, people will start to believe this guy; plus he makes sense, so you need to stop him now...so get to work you lazy bums and gals".
In May 8th, 2008 issue of The People, they have launched a publication attack on me and my character. It seems SPPF are confused over me crossing the floor (a parliamentary procedure) October 14th, 1997 and disappearing for a few years from the political landscape only to come back as a political columnist to barrage and put an end to the Evil Regime of SPPF headed by F.A. Rene. Evil it is. Put an end to it we must!
The People have called the section "Mr. Christopher and Dr. Gill". While I am a Doctor of Jurisprudence, I do not go about town calling myself a Doctor. I never intended SPPF to reach out to me and refer to me as a Doctor. But the title lends itself to SPPF exposing themselves as not knowing what to do with the economic stagnation they have gotten us into under their stewardship. While SPPF has relied on Rene's little 2 year degree of higher education from the stone age, all these years, my Doctorate encompassed a seven (7) year higher education personal effort. Rene of course, is embarrassed that a Seychellois could have succeeded without his help. There are many. I am only one. So, it goes without saying, that Rene gave me no Dignity. It is God's grace that I credit my academic achievements, which Rene can only dream about for his children who don't want to study and would rather take power and run a show by the tail. Air
Let me advise and refresh F. A. Rene and his People "Reporters with Borders and Blinders". When I crossed the floor, I said what I had to say to survive, because your terror squads were calling on me in my resident in Bel Ombre at 2 a.m before the EDA debates and after you used intimidation to attempt to rush my will. At the time my Party was also not ready for my type of thinking, since our leader was willing to reconcile with you Communists at the time. Today, we now all know this was all wishful thinking to reconcile with a communist like Rene. Even when you make a Communist hear what he wants to hear to let Peace reign, they do otherwise. In this little play, Rene is the looser and today he cries about fixing our economy when a Government of National Reconstruction in 1993 could have done the job.
Finally, SPPF if you are sulking in depression over the reality of my articles today, ease the burden and pain, enjoy what I said to you in 1997. Then decide for yourself what was the Truth and what was "Bat Latet" premyer grad, which after all, I learned from you on the campaign trail. “Bate rande pa fermal”!
Enjoy your Party Congress.... don't fight too much and leave the guns at home please. Guns and bullets will not stop the winds and tides of change from sending you all back to where you came from.
Finally, please do not flatter me, over being a prolific writer, to be fair to you; I spend no more then 45 minutes a week on "The Column". I spend the rest of my time running my business, which you enjoy strangling so much. In addition, unlike those Rats at People who insist on being paid a full salary to write, I do it out of sheer pleasure for my brain and love for my people.
May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!
